Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

How is killing parents in front of their children, kidnaping these children, filming yourself with said children crying and showing them as trophies , crashing a festival and murdering over 200 participants a complicated subject ?
Maybe think about reconsidering your own views of if the world if you support these acts.
it's almost like the entire region is nothing but two sides led by religious radicals who believe that it is their task to purge the other side.
there are plenty of cases where anti-arab terrorist did similar, often but not always as part of the military, one of who is the current Israeli minister of internal security.
With the exception of the festival attack you could just as easily be describing the IDF. Hamas and the IDF are evil.
Did I say I support them? I just said speaking out it as good v evil, black v white is simplistic. Do you disagree?
The person I was responding to called hamas evil. You called hamas evil. The cognitive dissonance is strong in you.
Saying someone is acting evil and calling an entire group evil, regardless of actions, are two different things. Equating them to make your position stronger is a transparent attempt to sidestep the point.
Your 3rd paragraph makes sense but the second undercuts any attempt at meeting in the middle, omitting any context of the subjugation of the palestinian people and their limited means of fighting back. I will stop believing people like you are okay with the subjugation of palestine as soon as someone puts forth an alternative avenue of resolution. So far its just a lot of people saying "not like this."
Okay, this is for sure sidestepping the issue, right? Ignoring my comment completely and simply attacking my character? If this isn't side stepping the issue than my english comprehension may be as poor as yours.
No, but you’re defending them. What makes them different really than any mass killers trying to get what they want through violence?
You’ve gotta be one of those people that are just mad at society and want to lash out, seeing that anyone that doesn’t agree with you must be punished.
There’s no way you would go out of your way for any other reason. You need therapy.
I'm defending them because the world has thrown them away and they don't have a propaganda arm of their government to sway public opinion. Without people like me speaking to the struggle and humanity of the Palestinians they become otherized. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Other_(philosophy)
